Leyland Road near its junction with Margaret Road in Penwortham is said to be particularly bad for driving conditions.

Bus services have had to be rerouted on a number of routes.

Other roads with reports of large volumes of standing water include Preston Road, Croston Road, Hennel Lane, Tardygate Junction, School Lane, Blackpool Road at its junction with Lea Road and Todd Lane North.

Bamber Bridge has also seen lots of standing water with the area around the Pear Tree pub struggling to cope.

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service have been called out to two flood related incidents.

The first to a restaurant in Walton-le-Dale in Chorley Road.

They say floodwater entered the kitchen of Pinocchio’s and they had to pump the water clear.
